Podcasts about Impact

On this episode of Impact Theory, host Tom Bilyeu welcomes renowned economist Arthur Laffer, famously known for shaping the policies of the Reagan era and the iconic "Laffer Curve." Together, they dive deep into the real forces driving America's economy today—from the challenges facing Trump's economic policies to the historical cycles of wealth, debt, and money printing that have shaped the rise and fall of empires. With characteristic clarity and candor, Arthur Laffer explains why he remains optimistic about America's economic future, breaks down the role of debt and government spending, and explores how policy shifts can radically alter prosperity for average Americans. The conversation ranges from the legacy of tax cuts to the dynamics of wealth inequality and the potential impact of private currencies and cryptocurrencies on the next chapter of financial history. If you want to understand what's really happening beneath the headlines—and how economic policies could impact your own financial future—you won't want to miss this episode. What's up, everybody?

In this episode, we examine what actually happens when crypto markets break — how leverage builds beneath the surface, liquidity disappears, and liquidation cascades turn volatility into systemic failure. Doug Colkitt, a quantitative trader and DeFi builder whose experience spans both traditional finance and crypto market structure. Doug began his career on Wall Street at Citigroup before moving into high-frequency trading at Citadel during the 2008 financial crisis. He later built and traded his own systems across futures, volatility products, and international equities, including running a major market-making operation in Turkish stocks. Today, Doug focuses on crypto and DeFi infrastructure, working with perpetual futures, liquidation mechanics, and exchange design. We discuss why traders still get wiped out when they think they're hedged, how liquidation cascades accelerate, and what recent market failures reveal about leverage and market structure under stress.

My guest today is Henry Ellenbogen, founder and Managing Partner of Durable Capital Partners. Henry built his reputation at T. Rowe Price, where he led the New Horizons Fund and turned it into one of the best-performing small-cap growth portfolios in the country. In 2019, he left to start Durable. His philosophy is grounded in a simple belief that great investing is about understanding people and change. Henry has spent his career studying the rare 1% of companies that drive nearly all long-term returns . Durable's edge comes from being able to tell the difference between a company that is failing and one that is transforming. Henry often talks about “Act II” teams – founders who take the lessons from their first company and apply them to a new frontier. Durable itself is his Act II. In our latest Colossus profile, Managing Editor Dom Cooke traces Henry's story and specifically how he became one of the most influential investors of the 21st century, having learned from founders like Jeff Bezos and John Malone in the early part of his career. I always hear the same thing from founders who've met Henry: “he understood my business faster than anyone”. The thing that sticks with me from our conversation and Dom's profile is just how much he loves investing.

Thank you to our sponsors, Mantle!On this episode of Bits + Bips, hosts Ram Ahluwalia, Austin Campbell, and Chris Perkins are joined by Elisabeth Kirby, Head of Market Structure at Tradeweb, for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of crypto markets — and who will control them. They unpack why US market structure legislation stalled, how the SEC's enforcement-first approach shaped the last cycle, and what it signals that JPMorgan, BlackRock, and others are moving forward with tokenization.  The group debates whether Ethereum's institutional edge is durable, whether Canton can scale beyond early adopters, and why Solana's “decentralized Nasdaq” vision still faces hard questions. The episode closes with a sober look at macro conditions, risk appetite, and why crypto may be stuck waiting, even as the long-term institutional thesis quietly strengthens.

Nelson Dusetti est directeur de recherche à l'Inserm, spécialiste du cancer du pancréas, un des plus redoutables aujourd'hui encore. Il est aussi le co-fondateur de PredictingMed, une startup qui ambitionne de mieux prédire les traitements les plus efficaces pour chaque patient grâce à l'intelligence artificielle et à l'analyse moléculaire. Ensemble, dans cet épisode, nous avons tenté d'imaginer à quoi pourrait ressembler la prise en charge du cancer dans 5 ans.Ce sujet est particulièrement difficile à aborder en cette période de fêtes, où l'on voudrait ne penser qu'à la joie et aux retrouvailles. Et pourtant, c'est précisément parce que Noël est un moment de vulnérabilité et d'amour que je crois essentiel de parler du cancer maintenant. J'ai récemment perdu un membre de ma famille, et une de mes plus proches amies vient d'être diagnostiquée. Il n'y a jamais de bon moment pour parler de cette maladie. Alors parlons-en.Dans cet épisode, j'ai voulu comprendre non seulement la science d'aujourd'hui, mais surtout vers quoi nous allons. Comment on soigne aujourd'hui, certes, mais surtout comment on soignera demain. Quels sont les espoirs concrets que la recherche fait naître ? Quels sont les obstacles, les leviers, les besoins ? Nelson explique avec clarté la différence entre prévention, pronostic et prédiction. Il nous parle aussi de ce qui rend le cancer du pancréas si complexe, mais aussi de ces patients rares qui y survivent, et de ce que la science peut apprendre d'eux.C'est un épisode riche, technique parfois, mais toujours profondément humain. Une conversation que j'espère engagée, pleine d'humilité, de lucidité et d'espoir sur ce que la médecine personnalisée et les avancées technologiques pourraient permettre très prochainement.Parce que derrière la complexité du cancer se cache aussi une promesse : celle d'un avenir où chaque patient pourra recevoir le bon traitement, au bon moment. Et ça, c'est une vision qui mérite d'être partagée.Comme soulignée dans l'épisode, si vous souhaitez bénéficier d'une offre exclusive de 15% de réduction sur Saily, c'est ici : www.saily.com/vlan 5 citations marquantes :« Le cancer est une conséquence presque inévitable de la vie. »« On peut vivre sainement et quand même avoir un cancer. »« Comprendre les patients qui survivent, c'est notre plus grand espoir. »« L'IA peut nous aider à choisir le bon traitement au bon moment. »« La science est une école d'humilité. » 10 questions structurées posées pendant l'épisode :Qu'est-ce qui t'a poussé à travailler sur le cancer du pancréas ?En quoi ce cancer est-il si difficile à traiter ?Quelle est la fonction du pancréas dans notre corps ?Qu'est-ce qu'un cancer, au fond ?Est-ce que notre mode de vie influence vraiment le risque de cancer ?Pourquoi l'incidence du cancer du pancréas augmente-t-elle ?Quelle est la différence entre prévention et prédiction ?Comment l'IA peut-elle contribuer à la médecine personnalisée ?Quelles sont les limites actuelles de la recherche ?Quel message tu veux faire passer aux familles concernées ?Récap des timestamps clés :00:00 – Introduction personnelle de Grégory et contexte du cancer02:00 – Présentation de Nelson Dusetti et de sa spécialité04:00 – Fonction du pancréas et nature du cancer09:00 – Impact du mode de vie et limites de la prévention14:00 – Augmentation de l'incidence et rôle de l'exposome20:00 – Intelligence artificielle et personnalisation des traitements24:00 – Importance du don de données et de la recherche collaborative29:00 – Essais cliniques et espoirs concrets33:00 – Dépistage, diagnostics précoces et inégalités38:00 – Humilité scientifique et communication grand public44:00 – Activité physique et retour à une vie plus naturelle49:00 – Les freins institutionnels à la recherche51:00 – Pourquoi Nelson a choisi de rester en France Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : [BEST OF] La bouche , le baromètre de notre santé avec Bruno Donatini (partie 1) (https://audmns.com/kPIMzbq) [SOLO] On s'en fout de la longévité : guide pour ceux que ça saoule mais qui veulent quand même vivre en bonne santé (https://audmns.com/naYIAVO) #294 Les secrets de la longévité en bonne santé avec Docteur Christophe de Jaeger (https://audmns.com/yiQROWd)Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Summary In this conversation, Ali Damron and Kelly Kessler explore the concept of self-respect and the fawning response, discussing how it manifests in relationships and personal dynamics. They delve into the importance of understanding the nervous system, the impact of grief on personal growth, and the necessity of setting boundaries. The discussion also touches on the pressures of holiday expectations, the challenge of asking for help, and the journey towards internal validation. Ultimately, they emphasize the importance of choosing oneself and cultivating a supportive community. Takeaways Self-respect is crucial for personal growth. Fawning is a response to external pressures and expectations. Understanding the nervous system is key to healing. Self-abandonment can lead to unhealthy relationships. Grief can catalyze significant personal change. Choosing yourself often means setting boundaries. The holiday season can amplify feelings of stress and obligation. Asking for help is a vital skill to develop. Recognizing patterns of behavior is essential for change. Internal validation is more important than external approval. Sound bites "I was completely abandoning myself." "You are allowed to prioritize your peace." "Your energy is worth something."

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight, with your hosts Acefield Retro and Chad. We open Episode 155 with the defining image of the week: Gunther standing tall as John Cena taps out in the final match of his WWE career. What should have been a shared emotional release instead became a revealing moment about WWE's creative posture, as Saturday Night's Main Event exposed the company's increasingly adversarial relationship with its audience. The result wasn't the issue. Gunther is already a made man, and his credibility never hinged on retiring Cena. The friction came from the framing. The show was presented as a celebration, yet paced like Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. By the time Cena escaped the sleeper once and Gunther reapplied it, the atmosphere didn't crest into catharsis. It stalled. That disconnect sharpened during the post-match ceremony. WWE rushed into pageantry — roster surrounding the ring, titles presented, tribute video cued — without letting the building settle. The reaction made clear the audience understood exactly what kind of ending they'd been handed. We break down why the finish felt less organic than corrective, and contrast it with Sting's retirement in AEW, which showed how patience and alignment can create a farewell that feels complete. From there, we pivot to AEW's Continental Classic, where Dynamite delivered real movement. "Speedball" Mike Bailey stunned Kyle Fletcher, Kazuchika Okada handled Jack Perry, and Claudio Castagnoli and Konosuke Takeshita fought to a punishing time-limit draw that reinforced the Classic as AEW's most sports-driven concept. We then hit an Observer-style business and schedule corner, breaking down AEW's crowded December — early U.K. Collision, a three-hour Manchester Dynamite with $1 million at stake, a tight Worlds End promotional window — before flipping to WWE's business side: Royal Rumble demand, archive strategy, NXT PLE timing, and mid-December pre-taping. We close with a look ahead at a loaded week across the industry, from Holiday Bash and the Continental Classic to Impact's cage chaos, SmackDown's continued Cena fallout, NXT's road to New Year's Evil, and a packed runway toward Worlds End, Wrestle Kingdom, the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania 42. This is Episode 155 of Wrestling Tonight — where the moments matter, the context counts, and the conversation goes deeper than the finish

I sit down with yet another Jeff, but this one took things to a different level. Over the course of October and November, he completed 122 laps of the Manitou Incline, nearly a mile and over 2,000 feet of gain per lap, turning one of the most brutal stair climbs in the country into a month-long experiment in mental resilience.What started as training for a future unsupported FKT evolved into something much bigger. A Navy veteran with multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, he shares how his nervous system adapted to years in combat and why returning to everyday civilian life felt overwhelming. Loud environments, crowds, and constant inputs became difficult, while long, repetitive movement in nature helped turn the volume back down.We talk about why hiking and rucking can work where therapy and medication do not for some veterans, how mundane suffering and repetition create space for processing trauma, and why unsupported FKTs and long efforts with weight may be a wide-open niche for athletes with military backgrounds. He explains how the incline project became a fundraiser and awareness campaign for Warrior Expeditions, a veteran-led nonprofit that helps veterans heal through long-distance hiking.This conversation dives into combat stress, family life, fatherhood, endurance, mental health, and the simple power of left foot, right foot. It is a powerful reminder that the outdoors offers different things to different people, and sometimes the hardest, most boring path is the one that helps us heal the most.Check out Warrier Expeditions: https://warriorexpeditions.org/Follow Jeff Snyder: https://www.instagram.com/jsnydersoloadventures/Chapters00:00 The Manitou Incline Challenge05:10 Mental Resilience Through Hiking07:41 The Impact of Combat on Mental Health10:07 Nature as a Healing Tool13:01 The Role of Community in Recovery15:36 Fundraising for Warrior Expeditions17:58 Accidental Discoveries in Nature20:35 Transitioning from Rucking to Hiking23:15 The Importance of Mindset in Outdoor Challenges25:23 Unexpected Changes in Combat Situations28:01 Daily Life and the Incline Challenge30:31 Supporting Veterans Through Outdoor ActivitiesSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

With this time-span as a reference point, they discuss how the focus of institutional reprimand and control has shifted from scholars to mental health professionals, especially mental health workers who publicly address complex issues at the intersection of identity development, mental health, and its connection to LDS theology and practice. Further, they explore the phenomenon of "diffuse policing," where in some wards and stakes, fellow members, rather than just church leaders, report and judge one another, leading to a sense of danger and exclusion within spiritual communities. Ultimately, they call for continued efforts to embody love, create safe spaces, and support the health and healing of all members, at every stage of the faith journey. Books Referenced in this episode:"The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy" by Carol Lynn Pearson"Women and Authority: Re-Emerging Mormon Feminism" by Maxine HanksTimestamps:00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:49 Reflecting on Sacred Work01:49 Comparing Different Eras03:01 The Impact of the Internet06:02 Public vs. Private Scholarship09:09 Mental Health Workers Under Fire14:07 Balancing Individual and Institutional Needs18:38 The Role of Mental Health in Faith Journeys24:18 The New Taboo: Mental Health and LGBTQ Issues25:40 Identity and Wellbeing: A Personal Journey27:31 The Role of Mental Health Workers in the Church30:32 Institutional Insecurity and Individual Growth33:09 Policing and Persecution Within the Church37:35 The Erosion of Safe Spaces in the Church45:20 The Greatest Danger to the Church Today49:51 Concluding Thoughts: Embodying Love and CompassionAdditional Episodes Referenced:Ep. 179 - 182: Maxine Hanks Life StoryEp. 222, 272: Maxine Hanks and Jody England Hansen on the recent garment changesSupport the showSupport the show Listen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Access $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Gift a Scholarship Download Free Resources Visit our Website

What if the very thing draining your energy isn't your to-do list… but your tolerance list?In this eye-opening episode, George flips the script on the usual productivity talk and gets real about the silent chaos we allow in our lives. From draining clients to leaky boundaries, what you tolerate becomes what you teach. And today, you'll discover how to reclaim your power, not by doing more, but by tolerating less.This powerful rerun from the Reset in 20 series isn't about adding new strategies, it's about subtracting the ones that are misaligned. What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why misalignment doesn't come from what you do, but what you allowHow tolerating small misfires leads to big resentmentThe ripple effect of values (or lack of them) across your team and businessA single journaling question that will reveal what needs to change now Key Takeaways:✔️You're not what you do, you're what you tolerate. That applies to your team, your offers, your habits, and yourself.✔️Resentment is often self-created. We don't get drained by others, we get drained by saying yes when we mean no.✔️The clearest standards are the ones we model. Your team and your clients won't rise above the example you set.✔️One powerful question to sit with: “What are you resentfully tolerating instead of actively celebrating?”✔️Three values, standards, or principles can realign your entire environment. Timestamps & Highlights:[00:00] — Intro to Episode 4 + overview of Reset in 20[01:45] — “You're not what you do, you're what you tolerate” explained[03:25] — Real-life application with George and Ashley's team[06:50] — Story from EOS Implementer Dave Feidner on toxic team transformation[10:40] — How personal tolerations mirror in business and family[13:00] — Impact of misalignment and missed standards on company culture[15:10] — Values aren't slogans, they're behavioral bumpers[16:40] — Reflection question to reset your standard this week[18:20] — Wrap-up + personal reflection momentYour Challenge This Week:Commit to finishing all 7 episodes of the Reset in 20 series and invite one friend to do it with you.

Beyond his clinical practice, he's a health technology entrepreneur, developing AI tools to support obesity medicine for both clinicians and patients, and he is actively involved in the Obesity Medicine Association.Topics we covered include:The Liver: More Than a Detox OrganLiver Damage Can Be ReversedFatty Liver to Fibrosis: What You Need to KnowWhy Fatty Liver Screening Is EssentialSupplements vs. Real Nutrition for Liver HealthAlcohol's Impact on Your LiverModern Treatments: Resmetirom, Semaglutide, and Liver HealthMany people think of the liver simply as the body's detoxifier, but it's far more complex and vital.

Edwin Chen is the founder and CEO of Surge AI, the data infrastructure company behind nearly every major frontier model. Surge works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google, providing the high-quality data and evaluation infrastructure that powers their models.  Edwin reveals why optimizing for popular benchmarks like LMArena is "basically optimizing for clickbait," how one frontier lab's models regressed for 6-12 months without anyone knowing, and why the industry's approach to measurement is fundamentally broken. Jacob and Edwin discuss what actually makes elite AI evaluators, why "there's never going to be a one size fits all solution" for AI models, and how frontier labs are taking surprisingly divergent paths to AGI. (0:00) Intro(0:56) The Pitfalls of Optimizing for LMArena(4:34) Issues with Data Quality and Measurement(9:44) The Importance of Human Evaluations(13:40) The Rise of RL Environments(17:21) Challenges and Lessons in Model Training(19:59) Silicon Valley's Pivot Culture(23:06) Technology-Driven Approach(24:18) Quality Beyond Credentials(27:51) Impact of Scale Acquisition(28:35) Hiring for Research Culture(30:48) Divergence in AI Training Paradigms(34:16) Future of AI Models(39:32) Multimodal AI and Quality(43:44) Quickfire With your co-hosts: @jacobeffron - Partner at Redpoint, Former PM Flatiron Health @patrickachase - Partner at Redpoint, Former ML Engineer LinkedIn @ericabrescia - Former COO Github, Founder Bitnami (acq'd by VMWare) @jordan_segall - Partner at Redpoint

Deovrat Kajwadkar is the Director of Strategic Deal Pricing and Monetization at Google Cloud, where he sits at the center of some of the most complex commercial decisions in modern tech. With a background in management consulting at McKinsey and deep experience in cloud and AI monetization, Deovrat brings a rare inside view of how pricing actually works when products are platforms, costs are dynamic, and value is constantly evolving. In this conversation, Deovrat and Mark Stiving unpack why pricing is not just a "number-setting" function but the grade of how well everything else in the business is working. They explore the difference between platforms and solutions, why value-based pricing becomes harder as offerings become more flexible, and how AI is changing both how pricing is done and what pricing even means.   Why You Have to Check Out Today's Podcast: Learn why pricing sits at the heart of cloud and AI economics, touching product, strategy, sales, and profitability all at once. Understand how platforms, solutions, and AI fundamentally change value-based pricing, and why cost, competition, and outcomes all matter—at different layers of the stack. Discover why "pulling the dollar lever" is the most expensive move, and what smarter pricing leaders focus on first.   "Pulling the dollar lever is easy—but it's also very expensive. I'd rather pull every other lever first." — Deovrat Kajwadkar   Topics Covered: 01:40 – Cloud Pricing as a Central Role. Deovrat explains why pricing sits at the center of Google Cloud's commercial decisions—connecting product strategy, growth, profitability, and customer value. 05:09 – Cloud Computing for Enterprises. A clear, non-technical explanation of cloud computing for enterprise customers, from infrastructure and platforms to software and AI—and why pricing each layer is different. 08:48 – Value-Based Pricing Challenges. Mark and Deovrat discuss why value-based pricing is especially difficult for platforms, where customers use the same products in very different ways. 13:04 – Value-Based Pricing Strategies. A practical framework for pricing across the cloud stack: cost- and competition-based pricing at the lower layers, and outcome-driven pricing as offerings move closer to customer solutions. 18:10 – AI's Impact on Pricing Strategies. How AI is changing pricing on multiple fronts—what gets priced, how costs behave, and how quickly products and value propositions evolve. 22:34 – AI in Pricing Strategies. Deovrat breaks down how AI can support pricing decisions, from customer analysis and renewals to analytics and decision support—while stressing the importance of clean data foundations. 24:12 – AI Value Delivery Challenges. Why delivering real AI value is harder than building the technology itself, and how change management and business adoption affect pricing and monetization. 27:30 – Pricing Advice for Business Impact. Deovrat's closing advice: great pricing leaders expand their skill set beyond pricing fundamentals—and pull every lever before resorting to raising prices.   Key Takeaways: "Pricing touches almost everything—it's the heart of a company's economics." — Deovrat Kajwadkar "The more commoditized the offering, the more cost and competition matter." — Deovrat Kajwadkar "As you move closer to business outcomes, value-based pricing becomes possible—but harder." — Deovrat Kajwadkar "AI changes pricing, but it doesn't eliminate the fundamentals." — Deovrat Kajwadkar   People / Resources Mentioned: Google Cloud – Cloud platform spanning infrastructure, AI models, developer tools, and industry solutions. McKinsey & Company – Deovrat's consulting background, shaping his strategic view of pricing and technology.

In this episode of the Get Strong podcast, host Jessie Mershon discusses the importance of managing expectations in motherhood and life. She emphasizes the need to lower unrealistic expectations to avoid feelings of defeat, especially during busy seasons like the holidays. Jessie shares personal insights on how social media can distort our perceptions of success and happiness. She encourages listeners to prioritize their mental health, find balance, and create their own version of holiday magic without social media pressures.   takeaways Expectations can lead to feelings of defeat if set too high. Social media often creates unrealistic standards for parenting and life. Lowering expectations can improve mental health and happiness. It's important to pivot and adapt when things don't go as planned. Self-care is crucial for managing stress and expectations. Recognizing the season of life you're in helps in setting realistic goals. Saying no to commitments can be a form of self-care. Creating your own traditions can lead to more joy during the holidays. Expectations should encourage growth, not hinder it. You are worthy of joy and happiness, regardless of external pressures. 00:00 Navigating Expectations in Motherhood and Life 03:09 The Impact of Social Media on Our Expectations 05:59 Lowering Expectations for Better Mental Health 08:47 Finding Balance During Busy Seasons 12:05 Reevaluating Expectations for Joy and Growth 14:56Creating Your Own Holiday Magic Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs encouragement.

Gyms aren't failing because ads “don't work.” They're failing because they're tracking the wrong things. You can have the perfect offer, the perfect ad, and still miss the real growth happening right in front of you. Welcome to the Gym Marketing Made Simple Podcast — where clarity replaces confusion and growth stops being a guessing game. Each episode breaks down what actually helps boutique gyms grow in a real, predictable way.Episode HighlightsIn this episode, the focus is on the halo effect and how paid marketing drives growth in ways that aren't always obvious. You'll see why direct leads don't tell the whole story, why signups can rise without a clear source, and how consistent, data-driven marketing creates steady momentum even during slow periods. It's a clear look at which numbers actually matter when measuring real growth.Episode OutlineUnderstanding how consumer behavior actually works in paid marketing.Why most people don't convert directly from an ad.The halo effect: increased awareness, trust, and repeated exposure.Why “How did you hear about us?” is unreliable data.Real example showing a 100% increase in signups from paid ads.How paid marketing boosts website visits, walk-ins, and old leads.Why paid ads must run consistently, even in slow months.Case studies of gyms that grew after implementing paid ads.Why franchises outperform small gyms—and what to learn from them.Why organic efforts alone can't scale growth.The most important metrics to track: signups, CPA, revenue, appointments.The dangers of turning off ads and losing momentum.Common misconceptions about paid marketing.How paid ads influence brand perception and trust.Why a real marketing plan is essential for long-term success and business valuationEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro00:05 Understanding the Halo Effect in Paid Marketing04:21 Measuring the Halo Effect06:26 The Role of Paid Marketing in Business Growth10:46 Data-Driven Decision Making in Marketing14:58 Metrics for Success in Paid Marketing20:34 The Importance of Consistent Marketing Efforts21:47 Addressing Common Misconceptions in Paid Marketing22:02 The Impact of Paid Marketing on Business Perception22:31 The Role of Paid Marketing in Long-Term Business SuccessAction TakenReview how your gym currently measures success and shift focus to actual signups and revenue.Track numbers consistently without relying on “How did you hear about us?”Allocate a monthly paid marketing budget of $2,500–$6,000 to test, optimize, and grow.Strengthen branding and messaging across all platforms to compete with larger players.Map out a long-term marketing plan instead of relying on short-term bursts.ConclusionGrowth doesn't come from one perfect ad or one high-converting offer. It comes from the steady lift created by consistent marketing that builds trust, awareness, and familiarity over time. Once you understand the halo effect and start tracking the numbers that matter, your gym's growth becomes predictable, not accidental.CTAIf this episode helped shift how you look at your marketing, share it with another gym owner who needs to hear it.Supporting Information

You've been "the fun guy" in the group for so long that you've started confusing being liked with being safe. You crack jokes. You wave people through. You rush putts. You skip your full routine because you don't want to be "that guy." You downplay your standards with, "We're just out here having fun." And then you walk off 18 quietly frustrated… because you do care. You do want to play well. You do want to shoot lower scores and be taken seriously. This episode is about the identity I call the Likeable Loser: the man who sacrifices his standards, edge, and ambition to remain accepted, easy, and socially safe—on the course, in business, and in relationships. In this episode, you'll learn: What the Likeable Loser is (and why he's not lazy, broken, or incapable) How people-pleasing shows up on the scorecard through rushed process and softened standards Why "winners are assholes" is a hidden belief that keeps you stuck How labeling a "part" of you creates distance, clarity, and choice Why this pattern formed: belonging, approval, and social safety The real cost: self-trust, self-respect, integrity, and inner peace How to pursue excellence without becoming arrogant, intense, or unlikeable Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S.

The Likeable Loser isn't unmotivated—he's over-indexed on approval, and it's leaking into every decision. Rushing your routine to protect group comfort is a form of self-betrayal that compounds over 18 holes. "We're just out here having fun" becomes a shield—until the round ends and the truth shows up as frustration. You won't win consistently while you secretly believe winners are jerks—your subconscious will keep you 'safe' at good-enough. Labeling the part ("the Likeable Loser") creates space: you can observe the pattern instead of being owned by it. The upgrade isn't trying harder—it's giving yourself permission to be fully you: standards, routine, voice, ambition. Key Quotes: "Somewhere along the way, being liked became far more important than being great." "You're not lazy. You're not unmotivated. You're not incapable. You are, however, over-indexed on approval." "The likable loser is the man who sacrifices his standards, edge and ambition in order to remain accepted, easy and socially safe." "When you can label the emotion you're feeling… you create distance, and that distance allows you to invite in curiosity." "On one hand you want to win. On the other hand there's a belief that says winners are assholes. There's an incongruency there." "The cost isn't just strokes or revenue. It's self-trust, self-respect, integrity, inner peace." "The upgrade here doesn't require trying harder… it requires being truer, giving yourself permission."
